Hi,
I'm new to windows services. I've been playing around with some code and it seems to be fairly simple to use.
What I am trying to achieve is not happening...
Basically, I need a service to monitor a directory for a specific file and then FTP the file to another directory on another network.
Is it possible to have a config file to hold directory paths so that the client can change these paths?
Also, can we write to a log file?
I've been using InstallUtil to install the service instead of WindowsInstaller as WindowsInstaller was not working for me - would there be problem installing this service on client machine?
Last question...does the client need to install the .net framework on their machine (Windows 2003)...I know XP and 2000 you need to??
Thanks
Mr P.
